My daughter is a little over one year old and LOVES this car - even as much as I do, and I was pretty excited to get it. It's design is so adorable and she rides along with such a huge smile waving at everyone like she's in a parade. It was simple to assemble, folds up to fit in my car, and I like having a cup holder for me. She stays in just fine and the waist strap is all that is needed. People at the park are always jealous and when I take her out and other kids keep going up to the car because they want to play with it! We even used it for her Halloween costume and she could have stayed out for hours because she was so happy, and it was a big hit with everyone. If she starts getting cabin crazy in the house we just go outside and do a few laps in her car and she is happy. The only downside is it doesn't turn very well and you either have to make a very wide turn or kind of pivot it up on the rear wheels.
